Czech design will always be affiliated to the bauhaus movement which inspired a generation of design and industrial production in czechia principally during the second half of the 20th century with producers such as ton and up zavody amongst many others. Drevotvar began as a cooperative of seventeen craftsman in dělnický klub in jablonné nad orlicí in 1951 and is still producing furniture today. This is a high quality practical cabinet with eight good size drawers and various internal sections, a brilliant storage piece. In exceptional original condition the cabinet has been sensitively cleaned. Waxed and restored in our own workshop, the drawers run smoothly and the cabinet is strong and stable. The central section drops down revealing a mirror and various internal shelves. The design is reminiscent of jiri jiroutek. The drop down section can be used as a small desk. The cabinet retains it’s original key which works. The cabinet is in one piece but the base (with legs) can be easily removed for transport and access. Internal dimensions: top open section: h31 x w90 x d25. Middle desk section: right side l28 x w31 x h43 with small adjustable shelf. Left side bottom section l28 x w56 x h26. Two upper sections overall each section l28 x w27 x h16 each with an adjustable shelf. Left side also has a fixed central divide. The glass mirror slides smoothly from side to side and has some minor flaking. The desk flap overall surface is l45 x w91 with knee height clearance 71. Eight lower drawers: l36 x w39 x h7. All dimensions in cm.
